According to this [FAKE- see below] BBC article, there is a kind of Mosquito whose bite is 100% fatal. After the victim dies, a parasite restarts the victim’s heart for up to two hours, where the victim is extremely violent.
What’s even better has been the response: don’t these sound like the sort of thing that is said during a zombie movie?
“General Ary Serey had this to say, “We have obtained samples of this new parasite and plan to learn how it starts the heart and other major organs of the deceased. We intend to use this to increase the quality of life for all.”
US Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice opposed the plan saying that the Cambodian government holds a great biological weapon and should destroy it immediately.”
Better get those chainsaws ready!

[UPDATE: OK, as makes sense, this story was a hoax. It dissapeared off Boinboing, and examining the URL, it’s some other IP. Someone did a good job of mimicking the BBC site, enough to fool BB and myself, so I’ll leave it up. I so wanted to believe in zombies!]
